After the success of 50 photos of Spring in Alsace, I’m striking back with a new series dedicated to my native region. Lorraine is a historic and cultural province of France that stretches west of Alsace. Provence has lavender, Normandy has apple trees… and Lorraine has mirabelle trees. I admired them in full bloom last year and I was so amazed at the sight. Follow me along the Moselle River for an armchair trip to Epinal, Nancy, Metz, and more… as we discover these 50 photos of Spring in Lorraine to cheer you up!

If this is the case, I invite you to leave a little comment at the bottom of the article… as always I’m happy to read from you! Until then take care and stay safe at home!

My most beautiful photos of Spring in Lorraine

This little photographic journey in Lorraine brings us from south to north of the region, following the Moselle River. After Epinal, we’ll go to Vaucouleurs in the Meuse département, then Toul and its beautiful countryside, Nancy, Pont-à-Mousson and Metz. All these photos of Spring in Lorraine have been taken during my last trip in April 2019.

The Toulois region in the spring

The Toul countryside is known as the Toulois. This rural area is famous for its vineyards (in French: Côtes de Toul) and mirabelle plumb orchards. Unsurprisingly spring time in the Toulois is a real enchantment for lovers of the countryside.

Hi, love your posts – we adore France and in particular the countryside , villages and towns and your posts with such beautiful photos really brings alive the beauty of France – thank you and please keep them up !

Thanks so much, Pierre, for reminding us that our planned and postponed holiday to Alsace-Lorraine and to the Loire valley will, indeed, happen one day, and there are even more beautiful sights to see than we had realized!

Bonjour Pierre, my friends and I sadly had to cancel our trip to Europe planned for May-July 2020. We will try again in 2021. Nancy was on our agenda and we had booked accommodation in Toul – in fact the house owner in Toul refunded our money even though the AirBnB conditions required us to forfeit what we had already paid, which we thought was wonderful of him.
